- Triglycerides in the beta-cell may be important for stimulus-secretion coupling, through provision of a lipid-derived signal, and for pathogenetic events in NIDDM, where lipids may adversely affect beta-cell function. In adipose tissues, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is rate-limiting in triglyceride hydrolysis. Here, we investigated whether this enzyme is also expressed and active in beta-cells. Northern blot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction demonstrated that HSL is expressed in rat islets and in the clonal beta-cell lines INS-1, RINm5F, and HIT-T15. Western blot analysis identified HSL in mouse and rat islets and the clonal beta-cells. In mouse and rat, immunocytochemistry showed a predominant occurrence of HSL in beta-cells, with a presumed cytoplasmic localization. Lipase activity in homogenates of the rodent islets and clonal beta-cells constituted 2.1 +/- 0.6% of that in adipocytes; this activity was immunoinhibited by use of antibodies to HSL. The established HSL expression and activity in beta-cells offer a mechanism whereby lipids are mobilized from intracellular stores. Because HSL in adipocytes is activated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), PKA-regulated triglyceride hydrolysis in beta-cells may participate in the regulation of insulin secretion, possibly by providing a lipid-derived signal, e.g., long-chain acyl-CoA and diacylglycerol.

- Prediabetes is a metabolic condition associated with gut mi-crobiome composition, although mechanisms remain elu-sive. We searched for fecal metabolites, a readout of gut microbiome function, associated with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in 142 individuals with IFG and 1,105 healthy individuals from the UK Adult Twin Registry (TwinsUK). We used the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) cohort (318 IFG individuals, 689 healthy individuals) to replicate our findings. We linearly combined eight IFG-positively associated metabolites (1-methylxantine, nicoti-nate, glucuronate, uridine, cholesterol, serine, caffeine, and protoporphyrin IX) into an IFG-metabolite score, which was significantly associated with higher odds ratios (ORs) for IFG (TwinsUK: OR 3.9 [95% CI 3.02–5.02], P < 0.0001, KORA: OR 1.3 [95% CI 1.16–1.52], P < 0.0001) and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D; TwinsUK: hazard ratio 4 [95% CI 1.97–8], P = 0.0002). Although these are host-produced me-tabolites, we found that the gut microbiome is strongly associated with their fecal levels (area under the curve >70%). Abundances of Faecalibacillus intestinalis, Dorea formicigenerans, Ruminococcus torques, and Dorea sp. AF24-7LB were positively associated with IFG, and such associations were partially mediated by 1-methylxanthine and nicotinate (variance accounted for mean 14.4% [SD 5.1], P < 0.05). Our results suggest that the gut microbiome is linked to prediabetes not only via the production of microbial metabolites but also by affecting intestinal absorption/excretion of host-produced metabolites and xenobiotics, which are correlated with the risk of IFG. Fecal metabolites enable modeling of another mechanism of gut microbiome effect on prediabetes and T2D onset.

- We studied the following in normo- and microalbuminuric hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients: 1) transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb) and 2) expression of mRNA slit diaphragm and podocyte proteins in renal biopsies. Normoalbuminuric subjects had renal cancer, and kidney biopsy was performed during surgery. TERalb was evaluated by clearance of I-125- albumin. Real-time PCR of mRNA slit diaphragm was measured in kidney specimens. Albumin excretion rate (AER) was by definition lower in normoalbuminuric subjects than in microalbuminuric subjects with typical diabetic glomerulopathy (group 1), in microalbuminuric subjects with normal or near-normal glomerular structure (group 2), and in microalbuminuric subjects with atypical diabetic nephropathy (group 3). This classification was based on light microscopy analysis of renal tissue. TERalb (%/h) was similar in normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric group 1, 2, and 3 diabetic patients (medians: 14.1 vs. 14.4 vs. 15.7 vs. 14.9, respectively) (ANOVA, NS). mRNA expression of slit diaphragm proteins CD2AP, FAT, Actn 4, NPHS1, and NPHS2 was higher in normoalbuminuric patients than in microalbuminuric patients (groups 1, 2, and 3) (ANOVA, P < 0.001). All diabetic patients had greater carotid artery intimal thickness than normal control subjects using ultrasound technique (ANOVA, P < 0.01). In conclusion, the present study suggests that microalbuminuria identifies a subgroup of hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients who have altered mRNA expression of slit diaphragm and podocyte proteins, even before glomerular structure shows abnormalities using light microscopy analysis. On the contrary, altered TERalb and increased carotid artery intimal thickness are shown by all hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients, both with normal and altered patterns of AER.
